11 Best Italian Restaurants in Elizabeth

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Amazing authentic NY pizza. The owner Edgar is super nice and I really enjoyed talking with him. After trying several pizza places over the years when in town, this place has been the best. Taking pizza back home to everyone, they are going to love it!“

“Great dining experience! Food was delicious and service was on point. Thank you!!“

“The vibes were great. I just wish they would let you know at the time of booking rather than 2 days before the reservation that a $150 deposit is required. The prefix menu for the brunch is limited, wish they offer more options, but the food was pretty good. The vibes were great though. We went on Cinco de Mayo and the atmosphere was top tier. The dj kept the vibes going and played a mix of everything. Overall I had a good time and would go back.“
